The Lodge Hotel Joins McKeever Hotels Family, Marking New Era in Coleraine Hospitality

The Lodge Hotel, a cherished family-owned gem in Coleraine, is now part of the McKeever Hotels family. This exciting acquisition marks a new chapter for The Lodge Hotel, a cornerstone of hospitality on the north coast for 30 years.

We ( Explore Causeway Coast & Glens ) exclusively revealed earlier this year that the Lodge Hotel was set to be sold to the McKeever Hotel Group.

Ivor Boyd and Norma Wilkinson, along with their late partner Brian Stockman, cultivated a legacy of exceptional service and hospitality. Their dedication established The Lodge Hotel as one of the most successful locally owned hotels in the region. As they retire, the McKeever Group is honoured to continue their tradition of excellence.

Ivor and Norma shared their enthusiasm about the transition:

"We are delighted to confirm that the McKeever family is now the new owner of The Lodge Hotel. We want to thank everyone connected with the hotel over the past 30 years, particularly our great team of staff and our many loyal customers. The McKeever Group has built its reputation on strong ‘family’ values which very much reflect our own. We’re delighted they recognised both the quality of our offering and the clear synergies between our hotels which will ensure The Lodge Hotel becomes a natural extension of the McKeever Group. It’s good to know that the future of our hotel is in the safest hands."

Eddie McKeever, Managing Director, echoed their sentiments:

"We’re so pleased to welcome The Lodge to the McKeever family and regard this investment as great news, not just for staff and customers, but for the local community and the hospitality sector as a whole. The links between our hotels are many, not least the strong focus on quality service, professionalism, and customer care. This move is also strategic and totally aligned with our wider growth plans. We look forward to extending the McKeever welcome to the local team and guests in the months ahead."

This acquisition is a testament to the McKeever Group's commitment to growth and dedication to maintaining the highest standards of hospitality.

The group is eager to integrate The Lodge Hotel into their network and continue providing the exceptional experiences their guests have come to expect.
